About jerri bell
We are a family of 4 two children ages 16 and 13.
We have traveled to Roatan with my children and the children and our friends, everyone comes away asking to go back. We have home schooled and traveled most of the world over several years 3 months in Asia, 4 months in South America, many months in Europe,
but this remains my families top pick of places to go.
jerri bell purchased this house in 2003
Why jerri bell chose Oakridge
We love this home it's in a local area that is safe and the people are friendly. It is a place for our family to go and unwind from the city life. We have been traveling to Roatan for years and love the Island life this house provides. I think this is best location on the entire island for the view and security of being on a key. We have a full time caretaker that provides transportation to and from the island.
This property can be rented as a 3 bedroom 2 bath for $1200.00 per week or a 7 bedroom 6 bath for 2,400.00 a week.
What makes this house unique
The views are unbeatable and you can set on the front porch and observe lots of wild life. We have seen pilot whales, spinning dolphins, whale shark, turtles, birds. Its just amazing.
The unblocked view wonderful and since we are not in a large area of people the night stars feel like you could reach up and grab them. There are not many places that the lights do not disturb the night sky. The night sky from the dock is worth the trip. In our salt water pool we have wildlife pilot, fish, eel. you will be amazed at what you can see in the day or night.

A Divers Paradise. True getaway.
We loved it here. If you want a place off the beaten path to truly relax and enjoy, this is the place. As divers it was a paradise. Diving right in your front yard to an amazing wall full of life and coral formations. A dive shop right next door at the Reef House that also provided boat dives to other sights. It was fun to socialize there and enjoy a drink or meal. Davey the owner was great. The house itself is set up great. All bedrooms have air conditioners and the beds were comfy. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and then there is George. However we suggest freezing your meat till you use it. The owner arranged to have us met by a cab that managed to get the six of us, all 15 pieces of luggage and a stop at the grocery store where we stocked up for the week, in it. We met George at the pier who transported all of us and our things to the Cay which is really close to the house. George took care of everything including a quick trip to the pharmacy, to filling bottled water and a personal tour of the area and mangroves. Just let him know what you need and he'll help you. We ate all our meals on the porch, and having a washer and dryer were awesome. There is a " natural saltwater pool" out front that we enjoyed daily. We saw a moray eel, barracuda, trumpetfish, lion fish and more right there! Also watching the parrotfish each morning dance in the surf as they went for crabs was amazing. And if you love animals pack some doggie treats for Anna who lives behind the house, she's a sweetheart. We hated to leave yesterday, but We hope to go back. We rented just the main house, but with rooms in back all with their own bathrooms 20 people can be accommodated. We actually had Philippe Cousteau Jr and his group stay there a couple nights while in Oakridge filming a documentary. Plenty of books to read and games to play at night. Everything went as planned from airport pick up to drop off, just as Jerri has promised. Thank you for letting us use your little piece of paradise. So missing that view today.
Always a Pleasure
This peaceful place is lovely and worth a visit. A little out of the way, but that's what we love about it. Cannot beat the view and the accommodations are great.
Great place to stay
We just returned from Roatan on Sunday 2/25/2018. Our stay at Oakridge reef house was pretty amazing. We loved the beautiful setting right on the reef. George the caretaker was totally awesome. He taught us handfishing, took us to the store several times, filled water bottles, and arranged all our transports through driver Dave. George even found a calm snorkeling place for us because it was too windy most of our stay to snorkel out front of the house. Gina and her daughter cooked two delicious meals for us and got us some fruits and vegetables from a local truck. Nighttime was really special as we searched for and held baby octopi and other sea creatures from the front pools. The only negative we found was the distance the house was from most other activities and we spent several hundreds on renting a car and driver which we totally recommend over driving yourselves. The roads are pretty bad. This house was great and I fell I need love with Oakridge.
Wgreatest vacation ever!
This property is in the best location and it’s backyard has a pool (the ocean) with tons of beautiful sea life. The staff there is freaking amazing especially our helper George who constantly helped us get around and even rescued us when our boat ran out of gas. Jerry knows all the right people too. I got addicted to spear fishing while I was there and Jerry knows the perfect guy to show you the best locations. The house is also extremely cozy and makes even the days you stay in (if you choose too) totally worth it. When I go back i will stay here again!
Wonderful week!!!
We had a family of 16 stay in both houses. We loved the two properties and George was extremely helpful. He brought us water whenever we requested it. He was available with his boat to take us back and forth to get things we needed from the grocery store. The property is very clean and the waterfront is amazing!!! We could snorkel right out front and it was the best snorkeling we have experienced. We had two different kinds of eels in the pool in front along with lion fish and other small fish. We were able to walk next door to the Reef House Resort and have drinks whenever we wanted and also use their pool. The only recommendations I would give is that the washing machine did not work and there isn't a dryer. Because of this we had to use the same towels all week. I also think there needs to be more beach towels. There weren't enough for all 16 of us. The beds in the main house are very comfortable but the beds in the other house are quite uncomfortable. They might benefit from a memory foam topper on them. Despite these minor things we would definitely go back! The views were so breathtaking and it was so relaxing. Thanks so much for a great week!!!!!!
It was clean and nice
Jorge is super nice and helped with everything. He had dinner and breakfast with us a few times. The house is clean. Only thing I really will have to complain is the fridge not working. Doesn't cool or freeze a thing! I would really recommend to have it replace! The area is calm and have to be prepare to have to go in town for everything
